Marklin train
Posted by Anonymous on Tuesday, November 2, 2004 7:37 PM
Ok guys, help me understand how to get these trians to reverse. They are A.C. so is it possible to back them up. I have a H.O scale Layout currently up reconstuction. My wife won a Marklin at a train show. So I set it up on the floor just to see how it work. Love the way it runs, but no reversing switch on controller. How do they get it to reverse.

The marklin reverse is done with a jolt of high voltage AC.
On the controllers I remember you had to push down on the speed controller knob.
It's a more positive method than the power off reverses.
